The Chandos Lake Property Owner’s Association has decided to cap off the annual Regatta day with a spectacular fireworks show. The event will be held at Chandos Beach on Saturday August 5, 2017 at dusk (after 9pm). The rain day is Sunday August 6. The fireworks will be launched from the beach and cottagers can arrive by boat or car to view the show. Community members will be invited to view the show.

Cottagers might re-consider their private display of fireworks and put the money toward the CLPOA Show.

A campaign will be launched to invite businesses and contractors to become sponsors of the event. Sponsors will be recognized in the Yearbook, in a newsletter and on a sign posted at the beach. Cottagers are invited to make a donation to help offset the cost of the Show. Donations can be made in advance and we will explore having online private and sponsor contributions possibly with PayPal. More information will follow re: donations.

The idea for the fireworks show evolved from July 1 fireworks organized by Robert Telka and held on the Telka dock since 2010, to rave reviews of cottagers. He has always had a fascination with fireworks, originating in early childhood when he attended family outings to Parliament Hill on Canada Day. In 2009, he obtained a Display Assistant certification. Under the guidance and supervision of Canazon Fireworks, he obtained his Display Supervisor credentials. Robert has worked on Canada Day celebrations in Belleville, Kingston and Amherst Island. He has also been honoured to participate yearly at Kingston’s Royal Military College Sunset Ceremony.
